We LOVE visiting our local Pumpkin Patch and Apple Cider Mills. We try to attend at least one fall festival held at these "destination spots." We watch Apple Cider Making, enjoy a corn maze, pick pumpkins, eat Apple Cider Donuts, and have a great time.

When we return home, we carve our Large pumpkin and roast the seeds. (We have a few small pumpkins too, and Emily painted them last year). Last year's pumpkin was carved with a Horn of Plenty and "Give Thanks" (I'm trying to locate the picture).

We also read "The Pumpkin Patch Parable" by Liz Curtis Higgs. If you haven't discovered her seasonal parable series for young children, it is WONDERFUL. I will review it in another post... but it is worth reading (our library carries all of her books, but I wound up purchasing these because they were so good).

Hi ladies, I've been out of commission for a while, but I thought I would just jump right back in. :)

I love fall! It's my favorite season. I'm definitely going to have to check out those parable series by Higgs. I have never heard of them.

We have lived in a new subdivision since having kids so in the fall we would have like 3 leaves in our yard, but now we live on 23 acres with trees everywhere and I can't wait to have the biggest leave pile to jump in with the kids! :)

Oh yeah, the leaves! I almost forgot. :) Last year I took the kiddos to a local park with huge trees and TONS of leaves. We brought a rake and made a huge pile for the kids to jump in! I love those leaves pictures, too. So cute.

"It's not who you knew, and it's not what you did, it's how you live."

"Make peace with God and make peace with yourself, cuz in the end there's nobody else."

Directions:

We go to a local pumpkin patch that has special wagon rides that are shaped just like pumpkins and they even have ones that are decorated like Cinderella's carriage...of course Morgan makes us wait for that one! LOL!

Wow Fall to me is so colorful what with the leaves changing and all it is so peaceful and warming to me. I love to get in the car as a family and drive through the mountain roads, and just look at the scenery. Beautiful just beautiful God is the best artist we could ask for. I love to share the things that make me think of just how magnificience God is. Gave me a lift today just thinking about it... Thanks ladies.
